TOWN SURFSIDE GAZETTE OF

APRIL 2017

MESSAGE FROM THE TOWN MANAGER

Cleanliness, Water Conservation and Earth Day all in the Spotlight for April Travel website Expedia recently completed a “Spring Cleaning” survey to rank the cleanest cities in America. Based on thousands of verified users, the 10 destinations that rated the cleanest were recently announced. Your Town of Surfside came in second place! Why Surfside? The survey results listed the many environmentally friendly initiatives that pushed our Town to the top. “Surfside, Florida has a thriving urban community garden and commitment to establishing a Clean Energy Coastal Corridor, this seaside community received a 4.75 average cleanliness rating. Surfside is also dedicated to sea turtle conservation, helping to protect the Loggerhead turtles that use the town’s shores as nesting grounds.” A thank you goes out to our Public Works and Solid Waste Department for their role in keeping our community tidy.

We are again participating in the National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation in April 2017. This annual event is a friendly competition to see which municipality can be most “water wise.” All you have to do is go to the website www.mywaterpledge.com. There is a one-click registration (no costs or gimmicks) and you, and Surfside, can win prizes for your water-saving ideas.

All of this is happening in the month of April, when we celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day. On Page 7, you can read about the Baynanza Shoreline Clean-up on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22 and our very own Earth Day Resource Fair on Sunday, April 23 at the Community Center from 10 a.m - noon. Surfside is proving that a clean, environmentally-aware Town is also a prosperous, wonderful place to live.

- Guillermo Olmedillo, Town Manager

Cool Evening Makes for a Hot Third Thursday It may have been one of the last cool nights of the season, but it was perfect for Third Thursday’s music, dancing, food and fun for hundreds who came to Harding Avenue and 95th Street for an memorable evening at the Uptown Beachtown. In addition to the live band and food trucks, there was a photo booth, bounce house, flowers, face painting, building blocks, kid’s games and give-aways!

National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation

The National League of Cities and the U.S. EPA Office of Water are again coordinating the National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation and Surfside will be participating.

This non-profit, no-cost, community service campaign was created specifically to boost our conservation and education efforts. The Challenge takes place in April.

The Mayors will challenge their residents to conserve water, energy and other natural resources. The challenge is designed to: save costs for consumers, save infrastructure and operating costs for cities, promote resource resiliency, protect watersheds and ecosystems and create positive shifts in awareness about conservation. Go to the website www.mywaterpledge.com during April and click the registration button (no costs or gimmicks) and you, and Surfside, can win prizes for your water-saving ideas.
